===Consonants===

Common Minervan has a total of 16 consonants which according to the World Atlas of Lanɡuaɡe Stucture is a moderately small inventory. The most striking features of the inventory, according to WALS, are missing /p, ɡ/, the presence of /tɬ/, and the absence of phonemic fricatives. The lack of phonemic fricatives is an areal feature of the languages of Xobde. The consonants are displayed in the table below:

Common Minervan has a total of 16 consonants which according to the World Atlas of Lanɡuaɡe Stucture is a moderately small inventory. The most striking features of the inventory, according to WALS, are missing /p, ɡ/, the presence of /kʟ̝̊/ and /ʟ/ as the sole lateral consonants, and the absence of phonemic fricatives. The lack of phonemic fricatives is an areal feature of the languages of Xobde. The consonants are displayed in the table below:
